Indicated for: cold and flu symptoms
Substance: paracetamol + ascorbic acid + pseudoephedrine + dextromethorphan (analgesic and antipyretic + vitamin + adrenergic decongestant + antitussive)
ATC: N02BE51 (Nervous system | Other analgesics and antipyretics | Anilides)
Paracetamol, ascorbic acid, pseudoephedrine, and dextromethorphan are active ingredients used in combination to treat cold and flu symptoms such as fever, headaches, nasal congestion, dry cough, and fatigue. This combination provides a comprehensive solution for relieving discomfort associated with respiratory infections.
Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic that reduces pain and fever, being well-tolerated by most patients. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) supports the immune system and helps reduce the duration of symptoms. Pseudoephedrine is a nasal decongestant that works by constricting blood vessels in the nasal mucosa, reducing inflammation and congestion. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant that suppresses the cough reflex, making it useful for dry, irritating coughs.
Although this combination is effective, its use should be approached with caution. Pseudoephedrine may cause insomnia, agitation, or increased blood pressure, especially in sensitive individuals. Dextromethorphan may cause drowsiness or dizziness, while paracetamol, if overused, can harm the liver. It is important not to exceed the recommended dose.
This combination is available over the counter, but patients should follow the recommended dosage and avoid long-term use. If symptoms persist for more than a few days or worsen, medical advice is necessary. Individuals with high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, or other chronic conditions should consult a doctor before use.
